blackn1ght , to Lefty Memes in ACAB.

I'm late to reply but thank you for the response, this is the kind of response and examples I was looking for.

People get really weird about this, they act like you MUST cycle and train it everywhere and anything is just an excuse.

Yet.

No, I mean by upholding Private Property Rights

What does this mean though? Like if someone breaks into my house then they shouldn't be coming over to investigate?

enforcing racist and anti-poor laws they uphold the brutal status quo

Is this not an issue with the laws of the country rather than the police? I feel like it would be an even bigger issue if the police just became a law unto themselves and decided on their own what they should laws they should or shouldn't enforce.

Police serve the wealthy, rather than the people

Are there common every day examples where this happens? I'll be honest my exposure to the police is extremely limited and from a UK perspective. Do you mean like the police will prioritise responding faster to wealthy people and are more likely to put resources in solving crimes against them than your average person?

Serious question: What's the leftists position on police in the ideal but realistic socialist world? What would make ACAB irrelevant?

blackn1ght , to Lefty Memes in Doesn't matter how you try to justify it...

They do though? They provide a place to live that you can move into way faster than you can if you were buying it. They cover the maintenance costs, and some even provide properties that are fully furnished.

I agree that they hoard properties for financial gain but they do provide something.

What's the problem? Just use your third hand to keep the button down

blackn1ght , to Lefty Memes in ALAT.

If you're a landlord then surely you have the power not to do this with your property or properties?

blackn1ght , to Mildly Infuriating in This used book that I bought for 12£ on the internet was apparently previously bought from Oxfam for 1.99£

Putting the £ sign after the value is in itself mildly infuriating.

blackn1ght , to 196 in Asylum Rule

I don't even "hear" lyrics in songs! Is it typical for albums to have songs that tell an overall story?

blackn1ght , to 196 in Cathedrule

Why on earth would they refuse to do it? It's one of the best things to do!

blackn1ght , to Technology in Mercedes becomes the first automaker to sell autonomous cars in the U.S. that don't come with a requirement that drivers watch the road

I've been watching a lot of car reviews lately and yeah, I think you're right on all points. I watched a review of the new BMW 7 series and even the air control vents are capacitive sensors refer than little levers and it just seems unnecessary. What was hilarious was that the door release is right by the air vent control, so the review I watched saw the reviewer accidentally open the door when they were trying to control the air vent.

There's way way way too much reliance on touch screens in cars. I'm not even sure if you'd legally be allowed to use them in some countries, I feel like you'd have to pull over to just change the HVAC settings! You'd swear it was designed by someone that's never driven a car. They're decisions that are probably coming right from the top and the actual interior designers are pulling their hair out.

There's also a common theme across manufacturers where settings for features are lost when the car is switched off. So you have to go into the settings and change them back every single time you get into the car.

If I were in the market for a car (specifically electric), I'd probably go for Kia. The ev6 and ev9 look really nice. I've seen a couple of EV9s on the road recently and I was surprised at how much smaller they actually seem than on videos.

Like you though we're going to keep our car (Nissan Quashqai) as long as possible. There's no bullshit and it's practical and comfortable.

On a slightly unrelated note, the Mercedes EQ class are really ugly, both internally and externally.
